Note 1 topic: writing-participants

καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος, καὶ ὀρχησαμένης καὶ ἀρεσάσης τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις & ὁ βασιλεὺς

and /having/_come_in the daughter ˱for˲_him ˱of˲_Herodias and /having/_danced and and (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τῷ κορασίῳ αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς καὶ δώσω σοι)

Here Mark introduces Herod’s daughter as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: “a young woman entered. She was his daughter, of Herodias. She danced and pleased Herod and the ones reclining to eat with him, so the king”

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος

the daughter ˱for˲_him ˱of˲_Herodias

Some ancient manuscripts read his daughter, of Herodias. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “the daughter of Herodias herself.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος

the daughter ˱for˲_him ˱of˲_Herodias

The phrase translated his daughter, of Herodias could indicate that: (1) the young woman, who is not named, was the daughter of Herodias and so also Herod’s stepdaughter. Alternate translation: “the daughter of Herodias, Herod’s stepdaughter” (2) the young woman, named Herodias, was the daughter of Herod. She had the same name as the woman Herod had married. Alternate translation: “Herod’s daughter Herodias”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς συνανακειμένοις

the_‹ones› reclining

In Herod’s culture, people would usually recline, or lay on one side, at a table when they were eating. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to the position in which people eat in your culture, or you could just refer to eating. Alternate translation: “the ones sitting down to eat with him” or “the ones eating with him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

εἶπεν & τῷ κορασίῳ, αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς, καὶ δώσω σοι

said & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἰσελθούσης τῆς θυγατρὸς αὐτοῦ Ἡρῳδιάδος καὶ ὀρχησαμένης ἤρεσεν τῷ Ἡρῴδῃ καὶ τοῖς συνανακειμένοις ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς εἶπεν τῷ κορασίῳ αἴτησόν με ὃ ἐὰν θέλῃς καὶ δώσω σοι)

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “told the girl that she should him whatever she desired, and he would give it to her”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῷ κορασίῳ

¬the ˱to˲_the little_girl

Here, the word girl refers to a woman who has reached puberty but who is still young, probably between 12 and 20 years old. Use a word in your language that refers generally to a young woman who has reached puberty. Alternate translation: “to the young lady”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

αἴτησόν & θέλῃς & σοι

ask & ˱you˲_/may_be/_wanting & ˱to˲_you

Because Herod is speaking to the girl, the command Ask and the word you throughout this verse are singular.
